A Cut Above: Top 5 Barbershops in Queens

1. Filthy Rich

63-12 Roosevelt Avenue

Woodside

With celebrities such as Flo Rida, Big Sean and visitors from all over the world as clientele, Filthy Rich has made its mark on the barbershop scene. Richard Mendoza opened the shop in 2006, and said since then he has focused on creating an all-star team that’s warm, friendly and has a sense of humor in order to create a welcoming atmosphere for the clients; the team describes themselves as a family. Although there’s a long list of celebrities that come into the barbershop for a cut, Mendoza said they have a very mixed and cultured clientele, making the shop unique. On the pricier side, Mendoza assures that the shop’s clients are paying for a good quality haircut, “walking in filthy and coming out rich.”
